I agree. Fighting sheik it often seems as soon as your run in to punish her spotdodge/tilt/whatever you get punished instead.
I just approach the matchup differently then I used to. Basically both characters are looking for the grab so they can 0-death the other hopefully. The sheik just has a much larger margin of error due to her moves all winning. So since I never win trades, just dashdance/nair camp in the safest way I can and wait for sheik to mess up and allow me to grab, or hit her at all. Without platforms I'll techchase to either u-throw knee eventually or stomp knee, with platforms you have the great upair.
Sheik's needles are easier to deal with than other characters also. If she happens to throw one and you see it you can nair over it and hit her. When you do happen to catch her with any hit at all, make sure to get the grab or techchase her reaction and lead to something.
That's how I approach the sheik matchup in short, hope it helps.
If Hax vs Amsah is up from pound, watch that.
